Well, it is impossible if you are using a fixed-pitch instrument.
With talented singers, it's almost impossible to have any fifth or
third not perfect.
Do understand you here. Do you mean that talented singers can only sing
perfect fifths or thirds? Or that talented singers can't?
I know quite a few singers (talented) that can sing whatever you put in
front of them.
